My fablous sponsors are offering great deals this weekend on all that mandatory
gear you
need.  Unfortunately, Its a one time show SATURDAY APRIL 1st at their San Carlos
location.
Its right across the street from REI.  They should have somewhere between 15-50%
off all last
year stuff and a few others.  They also have a cool selection of Seda Boats
...the same one we
used in Baja Travesia this past winter.  These things cook.  check out the
website at
www.aquasports.com.  It should be great!

The Silly Rabbits are looking for crew. If anyone is interested in
helping us out at the Cal Eco race in Auburn April 8 and 9th please
email me. Should be fun watching us try to complete the course doing
roundhouse kicks the entire time. Sweet swag and of course all
expenses paid for.

Stupid Donkeys Become First-Ever Methane-Neutral
Adventure Racing Team

Parody, CA -- Biff Bar, the leading maker of foodlike substances, and
Team Stupid Donkeys, one of North America's adventure racing teams, have
joined together to make the 2006 adventure racing season methane
neutral, much to the relief of their fellow racers.

Biff Bar will off-set the methane emissions created by
Stupid Donkey's vigorous exercise and consumption of
Biff Bar's soy-based products by distributing Beano to
all racers and support crews, and replacing post-race
burritos with methane-neutral foods. Methane is one
cause of global warming, as well as discontent among
team members sharing tents and puppy piles during long
races.

"My assistants, Beeker and Frink, strapped a gas bag
on one of our biggest racers during a 24-hour event
last year," said Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and
Tenacious Scientist for Biff Bar. "He emitted as much
methane as the average cow over the same period." (The
racer later quit Team Stupid Donkeys in a huff,
claiming he was "faaaaarter than your average cow,
Boo-Boo.")

Over the past few years, Team Stupid Donkeys Rabbits
has finished at least a few races, and has disrupted
clinics, training events, bars, and campgrounds across
the United States.

"Team Stupid Donkeys has become quite recognizable and well-known to
local law enforcement and race directors over the last few years," says
Yogi Bearaff, Biff Bar's Director of Grass-Smoking. "If they put half as
much effort into racing as they do into self-promotion and stupid
costumes, they might actually achieve something."

This parody is in no way intended to diminish
admirable, innovative, and worthwhile efforts to
reduce global warming; increase socially responsible
business practices; and promote responsible adventure
racing.

2 weeks to go.
Tune up the bike, dust off the compass and train the hills.

The Flying B Adventure Park of Orange County California will host the most exciting sprint distance adventure race in California-bar NONE.

Brand new single track cut by the Warrior's Society (www.warriorssociety.org) will highlight this event.

Novice to Experts will find this ALL NEW course to be nothing short of an absolute blast. Guaranteed.

A mostly marked mtn bike and trail run (taken much from the old Hi-Tec and Balance Bar style) and a white level/intro orienteering/navigation challenge- novices fear not, this will be purely fun.

Newcomers-NO longer an excuse not to race folks-it gets no more intro level nor cheaper than this. GET IN THE LOOP, AR is going to encounter a new surge of fun...be there for it.

Camping, great spectating, BBQ.

$50 per athlete- Never a late fee.

Explore the West Adventure Series has placed the new points program and gear list on line.

Racers of the west have the whole year to battle for points, and strategize for placement and invitation to the series finale, The Baja Travesia- a 3-5 day non stop expedition across the wildest piece of land in North America, Baja California, Mexico.

Californian Athletes-

You've asked for a new spark to AR in the West, well here ya go. Coming off the heels of the successful 2005 season, Explore California will expand to Explore the West. Covering the entire western U.S. from Washington State to Baja California, adventure athletes will have a fresh alternative and no shortage of adventure.

Hey I'm part of adventure racing Team DART-nuun now. Just passing on a
promotional discount. Its a newer less known product. I reluctantly
tried it for the first time while racing in Brazil last year and have
been using it since. I was afraid to try something new but no popping
pills has kept me using it. Here's there little promo and more
importantly how to get the discount:

DART has teamed up with nuun, the leader in portable electrolyte
replacement, to
extend an offer of 20% off your nuun purchases by utilizing the
following code upon checkout from the nuun website.

Code: TEAMDART
http://www.nuun.com/06-get.asp

Why use nuun in a race or any event where being on top of
your game is pertinent? nuun is fast to use and produces a refreshing
hypotonic solution which your
body will absorb faster than water or salt tabs. Your body is,
therefore, able to restore optimal water and
electrolyte balance more quickly.

Answer any questions you might have about the product at the website:
http://www.nuun.com/default.asp"

A portion of the proceeds will go towards DART's racing and community
activities.

PS - Anyone can use the discount. : )

Stupid Donkeys Become First-Ever Methane-Neutral
Adventure Racing Team

Parody, CA -- Biff Bar, the leading maker of foodlike
substances, and Team Stupid Donkeys, one of North
America's adventure racing teams, have joined together
to make the 2006 adventure racing season methane
neutral, much to the relief of their fellow racers.

Biff Bar will off-set the methane emissions created by
Stupid Donkey�s vigorous exercise and consumption of
Biff Bar�s soy-based products by distributing Beano to
all racers and support crews, and replacing post-race
burritos with methane-neutral foods. Methane is one
cause of global warming, as well as discontent among
team members sharing tents and puppy piles during long
races.

�My assistants, Beeker and Frink, strapped a gas bag
on one of our biggest racers during a 24-hour event
last year,� said Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and
Tenacious Scientist for Biff Bar. �He emitted as much
methane as the average cow over the same period.� (The
racer later quit Team Stupid Donkeys in a huff,
claiming he was �faaaaarter than your average cow,
Boo-Boo.�)

Over the past few years, Team Stupid Donkeys Rabbits
has finished at least a few races, and has disrupted
clinics, training events, bars, and campgrounds across
the United States.

"Team Stupid Donkeys has become quite recognizable and
well-known to local law enforcement and race directors
over the last few years," says Yogi Bearaff, Biff
Bar's Director of Grass-Smoking. �If they put half as
much effort into racing as they do into self-promotion
and stupid costumes, they might actually achieve
something.�

This parody is in no way intended to diminish
admirable, innovative, and worthwhile efforts to
reduce global warming; increase socially responsible
business practices; and promote responsible adventure
racing.

Let me start by apologizing for not explaining things better in the press release that went out yesterday. We made the mistake of assuming that the concept of renewable energy credits was mainstream enough that it didn't need further explanation.

Check out the Clif Bar website (www.clifbar.com) or www.nativeenergy.com for more info.

Basically a renewable energy credit is a way to help produce or offset the added expense of renewable energy sources to increase their use and effectively decrease the burning of fossil fuels to create electricity. They're sold in units of carbon that you effectively prevent from being released into the atmosphere.

Sorry if there was any confusion. Fee free to contact me with further questions.

For Immediate Release

Clif Bar Announces First-Ever Carbon-Neutral Adventure Racing Team

Berkeley, CA -- Clif Bar & Co., the leading natural and organic energy bar maker, and Team Silly Rabbits, one of North America's best adventure racing teams, have joined together to make the 2006 adventure racing season climate neutral for the Silly Rabbits.

Clif Bar will off-set the carbon dioxide emission created by Silly Rabbits' race travel by buying an equivalent amount of renewable energy credits. Carbon dioxide is the leading cause of global warming.

Appreciation and stewardship of the magnificent natural world is a key principle of Adventure Racing, a sport that sees co-ed teams of four race for up to several days via foot, bike, and kayak through courses set in wilderness areas.

"Being environmentally conscious athletes in the unique sport of adventure racing, we are thrilled to take this important step toward reducing our team's environmental footprint," says Jason Quinn, captain of Team Silly Rabbits. "Having raced around the world through varied and delicate ecosystems, we are always conscious of our impact on the environment. Through our partnership with Clif Bar, we can mitigate this impact and further raise awareness about the dangers of global warming."

Over the past two years, Team Silly Rabbits has won numerous races across the United States, finished 8th place in the Primal Quest expedition race -- the world's biggest adventure race, and has put on clinics and training days at retail outlets and multi-sport events.

"Team Silly Rabbits has become quite a recognizable and well-respected name in adventure sports over the last two years, and we look forward to helping them continue to be an example to other outdoor athletes and enthusiasts," says Jeff Johnson, Clif Bar's Director of Grassroots Marketing.

Clif Bar was recently successful in making the Amgen Tour of California Bicycle Race carbon neutral (a first for an event that large), and continues the fight to Start Global Cooling by adding the Silly Rabbits to their growing list of carbon neutral events and teams.

About Clif Bar & Co

Clif Bar & Co. (www.clifbar.com) is a leading maker of all-natural and organic energy and nutrition foods and drinks, including the CLIF® BAR energy bar and LUNA®, The Whole Nutrition Bar for WomenÔ . Focused on great food and sustainability, Clif Bar works diligently to reduce its footprint on the planet from the field to the final product.

About Team Silly Rabbits

Adventure racing team Silly Rabbits (www.sillyrabbitsracing.com) consists of northern California-based Jason Quinn, Rick Baraff, John Moss, and Jennifer Ratay. One of the top teams in the country, Team Silly Rabbits has won dozens of races across the United States and works to expose others to the sport through clinics and training days at retail outlets and multi-sport events. The foursome is currently preparing for their upcoming season that includes the 2006 Primal Quest Expedition Adventure Race, a grueling 500-mile 10-day non-stop endurance race in June that will be held in the American West of North America. The Rabbits are excited to welcome Clif Bar to their team, and would like to thank them along with all of their sponsors, including Salomon, Ellsworth Bicycles, CheckpointZero.com, Zeal Optics, and California Canoe & Kayak.

Silly Rabbits Underground Orienteering Course Ready

What: 27 point O course at Chabot Regional Park
Where: Chabot Regional Park (best to start at the Marina on the South end of the park, but once you see the maps, you're free to start anywhere)
When: course will be left up until early AprilHow: email me to get the maps and checkpoints (you can get blank 1:10,000 maps to plot the points yourself, or if you're feeling weak, you can get the pre-plotted versions. I hope to post them all on our website www.sillyrabbitsracing.com as soon as I figure out how to do that)
Why: because everyone can use some navigation practice.

Get out and tune up for the fast approaching race season. I just finished a temporary orinteering/rogaine type course at Chabot Regional Park in the East Bay. There are 27 checkpoints scattered around the park. The whole course will take about 5+ hours, depending on how much you run and lost you get. Or you can do just part of the course if you're feeling weak or have a hangnail or something.

Most of the checkpoints are off trail and marked with both yellow "wet paint" and hot pink flagging and have a symbol or number or something you have to write down to prove you were there. The few checkpoints that are on trails (or in more public areas) involve a simple question (like "is the fence post here made of metal or wood?"). I can't absolutely guarantee that someone won't remove the checkpoints, but in my hours out setting the course I saw exactly ZERO people off the trails, so I'm pretty confident the course will remain until I take it down (sometime in when I hope to replace it with a different course in April).

Now, how do I get ahold of the maps and checkpoints to prove my membership in the Adventure Racing League is justified you ask... Well, I was going to post all the maps and checkpoints on the Silly Rabbits website (www.sillyrabbitsracing.com) but unfortunately, I'm having trouble getting the maps (in pdf form, to show up. So until I get that problem solved, you'll have to email me, and I'll send you the maps and checkpoints. I used a GPS to plot the points and double checked everything at least 3 times, but there could still be mistakes... so if there are let me know and I'll fix them. I'll be out there this Sunday (March 12th) with the rest of the Silly Rabbits doing a long training day in the park. I'm happy to give out a little insider info should anyone want some.

Get out, Get lost

Hello Adventure Racers!

It is that time of year again. The 6th annual AdventureXstream Adventure Race Series returns on March 25th. For those of you on the fence about racing time is running out, the Moab race is now over 80% full. So, get your team together soon.

If you can't commit to racing, come out and see what adventure racing is all about and volunteer for the event.

If you are interested in volunteering and are available on the 25th for a 8-12 hour shift, please let us know as soon as possible so we can get you scheduled for a volunteer shift. We are also in need of a few volunteers on Friday, the 24th for about 4 hours to assist with staging area setup and other event logistics. You get a $100 voucher good for a future race for each 8-12 hour shift you volunteer and a $50 voucher if you were to volunteer a 4-hour shift.

On Race Day we need volunteers to assist with race set up, Check Point Attendants, Ropes Area Attendants, Finish line support. Let us know if there is any particular place you would prefer to be located (and if there are others you would like to be paired with at a CP).

There is reserved camping for volunteers on Friday & Saturday night in Moab.

You can fill out our volunteer form online at www.AdventureXstream.com or simply send us an email to volunteer06@...

We hope to see you in Moab!

Thanks,
AdventureXstream Staff

As fellow teams continue to poach our alternates, we are again in the
market for a female alternate for Primal Quest.

No expedition racing experience needed, but you would need to make a
serious commitment to being prepared to race on June 25.  (btw, we are
ok with candidates who are alternates on another team, so long as it's
first called first served).  A racer in the bay area preferred.

For more info on the team, see http://www.racingwithgiants.com

If interested, shoot me an email at john@... (or the
email linked above).
